If an error occurs while trying to read a secret file, we want that error to propagate to the main shell context. That means we have to set the `inherit_errexit` option, which allows errors from subshells to propagate to the outer shell. Also, the subshell cannot run as part of another command, such as `export`, since that will simply ignore the subshell exit status and only respect `export`s exit status; first assigning the value to a variable and then exporting it solves issue.
